Bob Hunter of the Columbus Dispatch has an interesting note about how Ohio State is recruiting a player out of Georgia -- that would be Alabama and SEC country -- and how Alabama is recruiting a quarterback from Toledo.

People Magazine is reporting that LeBron James and Savannah Brinson have set a wedding date for the middle of September.

James and Brinson have two sons -- LeBron Jr.,8, and Bryce 5. The two have reportedly asked friends to set aside Sept. 13-15 for a wedding in San Diego. Both are from Akron and have a residence in Bath Township.

The Columbus Dispatch reported Tuesday that defensive end Se’von Pittman, a Canton McKinley graduate, is no longer with the Ohio State football program after asking for his release.

Pittman redshirted as a freshman last season, asked for his release and it was granted, the spokesman told the Dispatch. The OSU spokesman did not give a reason for the move. Sources told the Dispatch that it had to do with an off-the-field issue and that Pittman was looking for a fresh start. Sources said Pittman was considering a transfer to Louisville.
